Abstract

Acne is an urgent problem of the modern dermatology and psychodermatology. It most patients near 20 years acne regresses, but in 10 – 20 % of them dermatosis becomes chronic.

The questionnaire by R. Lazarus “The ways of overcoming behavior” was used as a diagnostic instrument.

Results of research. In the research was revealed that coping of patients with acne is characterized with expressed directionality on the search for social support, overcoming of the negative feelings at the expense of subjective lowering of significance and emotional involvement as to the stress event, reaction by escaping type. Patients with acne are inclined to use the conventionally adaptive and non-adaptive coping forms. The types of anti-stress activity in men and women differ.
